The background Technology has always been a sort of two edged sword, one which can help you to make life easy or one which you can end up cutting yourself with bloody concequences.

WhatsApp has just recently introduced a way to manage all your messages on a web browser. What this means is you can send and receive messages from your computer without having to touch your phone.
